Woman couldn’t sleep after seeing her huge lottery prize in Michigan. ‘Such disbelief’
A Michigan woman was in disbelief when she learned she won a huge jackpot on a second chance lottery game.
The 65-year-old woman was chosen randomly in a drawing for the BIG CA$H second chance game, according to a Dec. 2 news release from the Michigan Lottery.
The Oakland County woman earned entries for the giveaway when she played the games online.
Then, she got an email saying she won.
“When I saw the email from the Lottery that said I’d won a $123,884 BIG CA$H second chance jackpot, I didn’t believe it at first,” she told lottery officials.
The woman said it was both “exciting and nerve-racking” when she called the lottery office to make sure it was real.
“I could hardly sleep that night because I was in such disbelief,” she said.
The woman said she is going to use her winnings to finish some home improvements and then save the rest.
“Winning means a lot and is going to bring me some peace of mind,” she said.
Oakland County is just northwest of downtown Detroit.
